General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1926.651(k)(1):Daily inspections of excavations, the adjacent areas, and protective systems were not made by a competent person for evidence of a situation that could have resulted in possible cave-ins, indications of failure of protective systems: (a) Fairwind Properties LLC at 10781 Arapahoe Rd, Erie, CO: On and around January 15, 2021, the exposing, creating, and correcting employer did not ensure that daily inspections of an excavation, which was approximately 10 feet wide and 18 feet long, which had a maximum measured depth of approximately 20.5 feet, and which had near vertical or undercut earth walls, were made by a competent person for evidence of a situation that could have resulted in a hazardous condition. Two employees were working in two stacked eight feet high two-sided cave-in shield systems without endplates that created an approximate 2.5 foot long section of the earth wall unshielded at the top of the excavation above the shield system. One of the open sides of the shield system was facing an undercut earth wall adjacent to vehicular traffic. These conditions exposed the employees to cave-in hazards from open sides of the two stacked shield systems and the unshielded earth wall at the top of the excavation above the shield systems. (b) Fairwind Properties LLC at 10781 Arapahoe Rd, Erie, CO: On and around January 15, 2021, the exposing, creating, and correcting employer did not ensure that daily inspections of an excavation, which was approximately 10 feet wide and 18 feet long, which had a maximum measured depth of approximately 20.5 feet, and which had near vertical or undercut earth walls, were made by a competent person for evidence of a situation that could have resulted in a hazardous condition. Two employees were working in two stacked eight feet high two-sided cave-in shield systems with a four feet high two-sided cave-in shield system on top without endplates on the open sides of the three stacked shielding systems. One of the open sides of the shield system was facing an undercut earth wall adjacent to the vehicular traffic. These conditions exposed the employees to cave-in hazards from open sides of the three stacked shield systems.

29 CFR 1926.652(c)(2)(i): Design of support systems, shield systems, or other protective systems that are drawn from manufacturer's tabulated data were not in accordance with all specifications, recommendations, and limitations issued or made by the manufacturer: (a) Fairwind Properties LLC at 10781 Arapahoe Rd, Erie, CO: On and around January 15, 2021, the exposing, creating, and correcting employer deviated from the specifications, recommendations, and limitations issued or made by the manufacturer of the shield system in that end plates were not installed on the open ends of two stacked eight feet high two-sided cave-in shield systems and in that an approximate 2.5 foot section of earth wall at the top of the excavation was not shielded because the employer had not obtained a third shield system to stack on the two stacked eight feet high two-sided cave-in shield systems. The excavation was measured at a maximum depth of approximately 20.5 feet. One of the open sides of the shield systems was facing an undercut earth wall adjacent to the vehicular traffic. These conditions exposed the employees to cave-in hazards from open sides of the shield systems and unshielded earth wall at the top of the excavation above the shield systems. (b) Fairwind Properties LLC at 10781 Arapahoe Rd, Erie, CO: On and around January 15, 2021, the exposing, creating, and correcting employer deviated from the specifications, recommendations, and limitations issued or made by the manufacturer of the shield system in that end plates were not installed in the open ends of two stacked eight feet high two-sided cave-in shield systems with a four feet high two-sided cave-in shield system on top.
